AI Thread Summary
When applying to colleges, it is generally advised not to include non-passing AP scores on applications, especially if the scores are below the passing grade of 3. Since many colleges do not award credit for scores below this threshold, reporting them may not benefit the application. Instead, focusing on the coursework completed may be more advantageous. It is recommended to verify specific college policies regarding score reporting and credit eligibility before making a decision.

If the catalog for the colleges say that your scores are not good enough to allow for credits, I don't think it matters.
 
i believe 3 is the passing grade. If it's below that don't bother.
 
I think non-passing scores won't be needed on your application; it's likely enough that the coursework from the school is listed, and that it's perhaps best to ignore that you didn't pass the tests. Non-passing scores won't really help your application.

It seems unneeded to even eventually report the scores to your institution of choice, since credit probably will not be awarded (but again, check into the exact score and your institution to be certain).
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
